For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion deals with force. When an object is acted upon by an external force it will have an equal and opposite reaction to that force.

This is part of the first two laws dealing with objects at rest, and objects in motion.

This is especially important when it comes to a vacuum such as space. There, if an astronaut looses his / her holding on their spacecraft and falls in free-space, the only thing left is their lifeline. If their lifeline isn’t available they will free-fall to Earth with the atmosphere becoming the external force acting equally to their fall, and thus becoming the force that will bring that body in motion to rest. Unfortunately, quite permanently.

Molecules, and atoms do exhibit this in the physical science world.

This is one of many theories Newton wrote about and became a basic physical law of motion that is proven today.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if a marble hit another marble, an equal force would push the marble back that hit the marble.

this is how my teacher explained it.

Say you throw a ball at the wall with, say, 50 N (Newton: the force it takes to move 1Kg 1m/s). When the ball hits the wall, the ball bounces back, because when it hits the wall, the wall acts 50N of force back onto the ball.

For Every action(a ball hitting a wall) there is an equal(the wall "hits" back) and opposite(the ball is bein acted upon instead of the wall) reaction(the entire act of the wall acting upon the ball with equal force.).

For ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction..

such as you ask a question and you get answers to it.. most repeatable . ....
to that point if you were to press against an object , that object in turn is pressing against you as well with an equal amount of force

(basically cause and effect)

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

They are equal in strength and opposite in direction. They are also on different objects.

For every force acting on an object, the object will exert an equal, yet opposite, force on its cause.
